I don't get that from the article.

Then where do you get it?

From a million other sources. OR do you deny the existence of such programs, set asides, and government created advantages for minority and women owned business? Anyone who has ever bid on a government contract has seen those disgusting forms wanting detalied info about who owns the business- what color are they? Is it a woman? Yeah- that makes me feel really confident that the bid is legitiamte and based on the best work at the lowest cost. Why wouldn't anyone assume that such disaprity in the number of blacks who start businesses is not the result of such pandering and money redistributing?
